Advanced Automotive Technologies, AAT, produced 200 1953 Commemorative Edition Corvettes based on the 1998 Corvette. This car is number 100 and has traveled only 13,053 miles. Sporting a 5.7L LS1 V-8 engine with automatic transmission, the AAT CEC is a fabulous way to enjoy all the style of the original with all the performance and creature comforts of a modern Corvette. Power steering, 4-wheel power disc brakes, power windows and locks, dual-zone climate control, Delco-Bose CD stereo system and power seats are just a few of the modern accoutrements this Corvette is equipped with. Breathing through a Borla Performance exhaust, it sounds nothing like the original 1953—then again, aside from the appearance, this car doesn’t do much like the original. Presented in a very commemorative white with red-and-white interior, it’s covered by a black soft convertible top. Very much like the original. Goodyear radial tires grip the road, stylish chrome 5-spoke wheels add additional sparkle and house the disc brakes. Nicely, AAT put such effort into designing and building these cars that only a small modification is made to the trunk area, everything else is structurally Corvette. Only the panels and colors have been swapped out, meaning the structural integrity and safety features are completely intact. Unique and fun is one way to describe the AAT CEC, a great way to enjoy the best of both eras—style and design meets performance, comfort and safety. With only 200 built, it’s a car with a tight-knit following that has been accepted and celebrated by the majority of the Corvette community, ensuring it a great spot in automotive and Corvette history.
